FG Targets 10,000 MW


It would be a big relief if Nigeria can attain even 8000 MegaWatt. The real issue, beyond all the big grammar, is the readiness and willingness of government to attain the target. If they are ready, they will. But if they are not ready, and are only playing to the gallery as usual, then we should be ready for another year of darkness and generators.
After all, when they want to do things that favour them [like build new houses, buy planes and acquire fleet of cars], they do not even let us know, but they go ahead to acquire such things at the speed of light.
KontriMan can only pray that this time it is for real, but as we all know… with this folks, one can never be sure!

MORE FIRE OUTBREAKS

About five major fire incidents occurred recently around the country (Alaafin of Oyo’s Palace, Oyo State; Okobaba, Ebute Meta, Lagos State; MRS Depot, Apapa Lagos State; and Ajegunle, Lagos State; Ramat Hall, Bayero Uniersity, Kano). This is not forgetting the fire that recently gutted some parts of the INEC HQ.
KontriMan recently raised this issue of safety consciousness in working and living environments. KontriMan would continue to advise KontriPipu to take the issue seriously.
We sympathise with the victims of the incidents. We thank God that no lives were lost and wish the injured speedy recovery.

ON NIGERIA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM


The standard of the Nigerian educational system is far below required level for any country that is serious about its development. The current statistics are nothing to write home about, with the performance of our students dropping every day in Secondary certificate exams and qualifying exams. The higher institutions are no better, as even the graduates of these institutions bring the quality of the degrees that these institutions award into disrepute by their output.

ARE YOU ENJOYING WHAT YOU DO?


This might sound silly, but you should really reflect on this issue. Do you enjoy what you do? Would you rather be doing something else if you had your way? A lot of people you come in contact with would tell you that they are in their current jobs because of the money, or because that was the job they could get at the time.
Infact, in some cases, people study some courses in the university or higher institution because they are the popular ones, or because their parents wanted them to study such courses.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS (1)


Fires can strike anywhere at any time. Along with installing smoke detectors in your home, you should have a fire extinguisher in key areas such as the kitchen, bedrooms, workshop, and garage. Walk your family through a fire drill so everyone knows what to do and where to go in case of fire.
Every room in the house should have at least two escape exits. If one of these is a window from a second story, install ladders that can be dropped from the windows. Make sure children know where the family will reunite if they have to leave the house in case of fire.
